I have only lived in the memphis area for a couple of years. I have driven all over america ive been to almost every major city.....at least twice. But I have never seen people drive as wreckless as they do in memphis. 240 is nothing more than a race way. Drvers try to bully any driver that is trying to do the speed limit by running up on them at well over the speed limit and tail gateing them. If you arent running 75 or 80 miles per hour most other cars will run over you. Drivers here are rude wreckless and stupid.
